There’s a fuse you can move to make it cut off with the ignition. It’s supposed to be the default but for many it does not appear to be (including mine )
Thanks. That’s currently what I’m researching. I’m going to switch the fuse to power on and off with the ignition. I haven’t found anything yet.

It was an easy fix. 2 bolts were removed in order to remove the panel covering the fuse under the steering column. Switched over the fuse from 54a to 54b and now the 12V outlet turns on and off with the ignition. Thank you!

I couldn’t find any other posts on the 12V so I figured this was the closest thing.

So not only do we have 1 12V outlet (which I can live with) but I just discovered that the outlet stays on. I use a dash cam with the 12V connector and realized that the camera was recording even when the truck was off and it was parked.

Can someone else let me know if there 12V outlet stays on when the engine is off? I’d appreciate any feedback on this.

Check your fuse box under the steering wheel column. I provided a solid photo in an earlier post. 54a will let the 12V outlet draw power from the battery with the ignition off while 54b will all power only when the ignition is on.
